The Non-Surgical Facelift: What Is It?

A non-surgical facelift is a loose term for a collection of procedures designed to help you regain your youthful appearance with minimal downtime. Treatments are usually performed with a single in-office visit and focus on facial rejuvenation, skin tightening, and replenishing lost volume. Patients seeking natural-looking results without going under the knife may benefit from a non-surgical facelift.

At Capital Laser & Skin Care, we offer a wide variety of non-surgical alternatives to traditional facelift surgery. Our non-surgical treatments have been clinically proven to be safe and effective. Each treatment is hand-selected based on your individual concerns and aesthetic goals. You may qualify for one or more of the following no-downtime treatments typically associated with non-surgical facelifts.

Skin Rejuvenation

Microneedling is one of our most requested procedures, and for a good reason. The minimally-invasive treatment offers exceptional long-lasting results with little to no pain, side effects, or downtime. Patients can quickly combat visible signs of aging or sun damage of the face and neck. Smooth fine lines and wrinkles, minimize large pores and pigmentation problems, and improve your skin’s overall texture in one sitting.

Skin Tightening

Thermage® and Ultherapy® are two of our favorite non-invasive treatments for addressing lax skin. Both treatments are safe and effective for improving the appearance of loose or sagging skin on the cheeks, jowls, and upper face.

While Ultherapy® uses ultrasound technology and Thermage® utilizes radiofrequency wavelengths, the outcome is very similar. Deep tissue is heated to stimulate the body’s self-healing process causing the formation of new collagen cells. The end result is smoother, tighter skin.

Patients can return to work immediately following either procedure. Although your skin may look and feel instantly tighter, final results are usually seen 3-6 months post-treatment.

Restoring Lost Volume

Soft tissue fillers can be a great way to fill in wrinkles and add volume to sagging skin. Whether you’d like to plump thin lips, bolster droopy cheeks, or reduce the appearance of mild to severe wrinkles, we’ve got the filler for you. Soft tissue fillers don’t require any downtime and produce instant results you’ll love.
